If this allocation causes reclaim then the lockdep detector complains that we might self-deadlock. This is not correct though, because hugetlb pages are not reclaimable so their mapping will be never touched from the reclaim path. The patch tells lockup detector that hugetlb i_mmap_mutex is special by assigning it a separate lockdep class so it won't report possible deadlocks on unrelated mappings.
